003can I ask the question yes probably have thought of this but it's great and unfortunate that Thursday we'll have this and the next basketball playoff game have you thought about having people to direct for parking start earlier so I think that's a great idea um Cynthia so we probably want to fill basketball like into the actual lot people like to cheat over right and you'll want these spaces for people going to the act so so we'll figure something out with um having some people here who can direct um and what time the gam gam at 6:30 I was to say the game's at 6:30 the plays at 7 on Thursday night so you get all the basketball people here first and if we fill that lot then we'll probably preserve the parking over here and
004hopefully no one will park in the mud right on the lawn hope so that's where they'll stay it's probably gonna be a big crowd it's gonna be really exciting yeah it'll be very exciting so um so hopefully we'll see you there y so tonight we have an update on the district's priorities and one of our our budget goals is that our budget supports our District's framework of our mission our vision our beliefs and our commitments so I always think it's a great idea just to review it to rededicate ourselves to um this framework and obviously you can we can update the framework as well you know that that could be something you can do with the new superintendent so our vision imagining designing and creating best Futures and we are a partnership of students staff
005and families and our community which is a really critical piece here and we are dedicated to educating the whole child for personalized success so we have um our priorities which are aligned with our beliefs and our commitments so we believe in high expectations and learning by all and are committed to all students and staff being supported through personalized growth and agency to be their best while held to rigorous educational standards and high achievement we believe in wellness and are committed to all students staff and families being engaged in an environment that values equity and diversity and promotes social emotional and physical wellness citizenship and safety we believe in Future Ready Knowledge and Skills and are committed to all students being prepared for post-secondary success and nurtured to become intellectually curious and creative critical thinkers who
006are effective communicators and collaborators and lastly we believe in the efficiency of resources and we will innovate to maximize resources and Partnerships to meet program objectives and the needs of all students might need to move that okay so this is our how how do we fulfill and again our our framework is aspirational as it should be and so how do we meet those aspirations so our first priority we will address instructional learning gaps and focus on increasing academic achievement for all students and we know that a really big initiative this year has been to go distraction free and so I'm proud of our school district I think we're very close and we're really happy that we have Mr it right now so he can now take it to the next level of being distraction free
007so so we're excited about that um professional development we know how critical this is for uh supporting our teachers and their practice which translates into success for our students so the teams through their teacher leaders have identified their PD goals for the school year so we're continuing to move forward on those so some of the highlights are science teachers and PS are looking at curriculum materials that align with the new science standards um in grades 5 through 12 the science department led by John crock are reading the am ambitious science teacher and they're also unpacking the Nissa standards so um science of reading is still really important we've had some professional development through the reading League at the beginning of the school year and we also have a Reading Coach who continues to support our
008teachers and looking at the data our English teachers so we administered the English Regents in January so uh we'll have a full report on that so the results were not spectacular but aligned with where we usually fall um but we are committed to still keeping it with that January date um so we'll have more on that but it is something that we was a goal and and we were able to do that um least restrictive environment again Katie talked about all the professional development sessions and the Playbook they're creating math a priority is really looking at graphing calculator training for all for teachers and for students well not teachers for students um music and art so next week we have the all count event which we are hosting and that has been a very big
009initiative that they've been working on and then our librarian she has been spearheading AI we are having uh a demonstration later this month on using KH Academy and conmigo so it's a really great tool for teachers and there are also AI embedded Tools in there which I think are really exciting and Cutting Edge so so we're going to be looking into that more and I know our librarian has done a lot of research-based um partnership and collaboration with other teachers and uh co-teaching with them on different research projects and and that's going really well so would you say that that's just sort of I mean the word explor is there but really exploratory phase of how to get teachers more comfortable yeah with using AI could potentially that be part of their PD and so
010I think it should be um so today I had a a postc conference with our elementary Spanish teacher and I mean she's the only practitioner right she doesn't have anyone to collaborate with even within probably 50 miles okay because we're unique so what I said is really chat GPT you can tell them you know the you wanted to teach a Frio aor and how do you develop your lessons and and chat GPT can it helps teachers still develop their lessons but K Amigo is the new AI part of that and they are just off the charts with with helping teachers it's really important was on the me 60 Minutes in story about a month or two ago about kigo and it actually showed a chemistry teacher you know they designed the lab was you know
011explore matter KS ask computer questions positive it's very interactive it also shows how like when you actually go through and all of a sudden oh my God you wrote a paragraph in 13 seconds you like it also picks up that sort of stuff too but using that was a tool because ultimately I problem is you like I didn't grow up with it but our kids are going to have it and at some point they're going to have to function instead trying to you know hide it and do it we have to teach them and train do what's the best part of it it's going to revolutionize everything everything this is going it's going to be three times what this was for the future yeah we can't hide you know we have to be able to
012do a dep positive light control right and to Tim's point I think that's we are interested as board in understanding more what our role is in supporting that but both for students and for teachers to comfortable you know I can think back this the cell phone's a good example but even going back to the transition from like typ writing and keyboarding to using a computer sending email using the internet and how in education in a lot of cases there was slow adoption because it was very different like this doesn't need to be the same way this could really be a win for teachers like you mentioned great examples of gaining efficiency while also showing them the parts of I think teaching that are still super relevant and important that they need to be even better
013at to keep students attention so they showed examples about for example you could actually have a personal conversation with Edgar eleno to really know what he was like and so that's that's kind of I don't know if it's creepy or not but it's it's pretty powerful right I think it is going to happen extremely quickly I'm stunned at some of the stuff which is already out there differ you think about industry and stuff like that everything's a revolution but everything education is they still have where the world changes so fast and it's so slow amongst Educators stuff well they still have to learn ABC they can learn yes right another layer to it we have to get I know something is the kigo law yes yep yep yeah I think we'd be interested in the
014future to I need to cut you off on just down the road as you get more settled in uh as Kirk comes on board understanding like what the vision could look like for next year even in terms of again the PD piece but incorporating it in the classroom and embracing it versus you know we're not sure because to Tim's point I mean I see it in my work obviously um it's it's moving really fast we have multiple different AI assistants that we use for everything even you know our internal text messaging system through slack AI to help generate messages it's just yeah going so fast it is and it's exciting I mean I'm even looking at our Atlas you know how we house all of our curriculum and I don't know it's not AI so
015I there are a lot of pieces that we need to look at and I that's where I think it's going to affect so much software engineers and I know say that AI is going to put out of business that's the reason Google's laid off all these software Engineers AI can write the software for you so it's it's going to be exciting y okay let's see all right hold on I'm toggling the next one okay um continue to analyze current and historical data so uh I think we showed you how Becky made those folders for all of the teachers you know in the in the the shared doc uh drive for all the AP uh data the regions the New York State 33 assessments um local assessment data so we've been looking at the data we've
016been sharing the data so uh wait a minute hold on so one of the things that we've looked at is we've talked about is well how do we have our district metrics that we can really take a look at so this isn't a completed document but this is something we've been working on with our teacher leaders um just to really have a a history of what we're really measuring what are the key metrics that are going to really inform our instruction and tell us how we are doing and then how do we track that and how do we set our targets so so this is something we're working on and when we talk about Priority One and how we're addressing instructional learning gaps focusing on increasing academ academic achievement for our students well how are
017we measuring that and that's something the board has has asked so so this is our uh attempt at doing it we're working on it um and we'll continue to report on this so and eventually all the priorities should be measured so we're still work we're working on Priority One this year all right hold on all right creating that culture of data analysis so even the whole uh stay in the game IC absenteeism attendance challenge it's we're looking at the data and I think it's a a very exciting use and interactive way so we and and Andre will talk more about this later so we've got Baseline data for every single grade level okay and we also have our first period data by first period teacher so they're going to be sharing this um the teachers
018are going to be setting goals and targets and we're really going to drive down deep into you know what students and families really need our support so so I think it's it's we're getting there with the data um we're making progress let's see what else and I know the board was interested in the number of students in AP fuel credit and honors courses I don't have the exact numbers but I know that they've increased so and we can we can get that information for you so we have some new recognition ceremonies um and we talked about this through our grading Study last year so we have June 5th as our celebration we're recognizing graduating seniors and academic awards for students in grade 7 through 11 so the class validator and salutatorian and the top 10
019members of the class of 2025 will be announced um it will be based on the in interim report of the four marketing period so that's when we're locking at and the seniors who achieve the highest honors High honors and honors recognitions will be recognized and announced and they'll they're going to get their stalls that they'll be wearing at graduation so I will show you later on our calendar for next year and we've already set graduation and we'll talk more about that so we're celebrating Student Success um having an underclassman awards ceremony that's something apparently Waterville used to do hasn't done in many years we want to get back to really recognizing students for working hard and so um it will be at that same ceremony that's that that'll be held this year it will be
020held on June 5th oh yeah I like the greatest growth yes concept also yes yeah because everyone used to say most improved it's a little kind of maybe doesn't sound so nice but greatest growth is like wow you really you're awesome you worked really hard and exactly oh 100% yeah so for the um stay in the game we're using MVP just because it's the basketball theme but it's based on greatest growth yeah so we're we're going a whole Senior Day this year June 16th we want to make sure our seniors have a day that you know is is a fun day but also still a learning day a day that we're sending them off and how can we better equip them with some last minute information that may help them such as uh topics on
021financial literacy maybe having one of the First Source or one of the banks come in panel of graduates from the class of 2024 Campus Life how to be a successful employee so we're going to work on that really excited that we have our administrative team in place at the Junior Senior High because now they can make these things happen so y so priority two we will Implement strategies programs and services to enhance the social emotional physical wellness of both students and staff so a big thing and you've heard about this our multi-tiered system of support and so this is something that we've been working on and how we can really focus on the needs of the whole child as it relates to social emotional behavioral and academic growth and how we can put those M
022those tiers into place and those interventions so and part of that was getting the support of the behavior specialist and she's mostly working with our MPS students uh mostly in kindergarten actually and things are going very well all right reduced student chronic absenteeism again this has been a priority for three years but I really feel that our March Madness event is going to get the the awareness out there to our families um I really wanted to thank the the um foundation for supporting $2,000 in prize money for our students it's going to our students and then to the winning coach one of the teachers so so thank you Patty Louise um and the big thing is what are these tiered interventions when we talk about our mtss what are the tier inventions interventions and um
023Andre is already planning his student Student Success team his meet uh his weekly meetings and really having attendance being a huge part of that so excited about that so our grading practices so it was a huge um study from last year I think we made a lot of progress and so our departments are still working on having consistent grading practices um we're still looking at the use of zeros we did talk about developing prek uh 12 habits for learning so that's something we're going to put off um just I I don't think we're going to be able to get to it this year and then also New York state has come out with their profile of a graduate and one of our goals was to really relate that to a profile of the Waterville graduate
024and what that means and operationalizing that for our students and our curriculum and our programs strengthen District commun uh Communications and public relations so I think we did a nice job of informing our our community of our distraction free environment and the change that happened there the capital project I think we did a nice job there getting the word out and getting it passed and um making sure that all those materials were also on our website and uh the board also wanted to see a more consistent social media presence and I know we had turn over in the position but I think Alicia is doing a great job um and I think she's she sends out press releases so you maybe may have noticed that we're in the Rome Sentinel we've never been in the
025Rome Sentinel before and that's because Alicia is really pushing out these press releases and she is pushing out information on social media so I think she's doing a great job as far as communication can we just talk about parents Square to as far as what we've kind of addressed in the past as far as you know the amth that that's going out and just I think with pushing out so many messages throughout the day sometimes at 10 o'clock at night uh people just aren't paying attention to them as much so if we have a condensed uh you know certain time of day it always goes out it's scheduled well building by building it might be more efficient so I don't know if we're going to be able to be that coordinated unless you have one
026person doing that so I'm not sure because different people do have those rights you know because I know something went out from the counseling office something so it was I was like oh no it was coming out from a lot of different areas on one particular day we may not know how I promise you there's a way to do it especially with technology there's guard rails that could be put in people using their settings to go to digested so the people who receive the parents Square messages can right and and again like I think that's something for further discussion probably when we have all the info but if we rely on the parents to get the settings right we will fail the costom who's the parent like we have to be able to be the
027Guardians of you know obviously in the morning if it's a critical message like hey we have a delay that goes out when it goes out so that is what they call the alarm that's the AL those are fine but I think systematically there has to be a way because there definitely is to put block in place where teacher soand so or the principal they can enter standard messages but those don't go out yeah until a certain time like because they're not deemed as critical like all of that can be done well I'm even thinking more so just on behalf of the entire Junior Senior High you know they're they're they're getting notifications throughout the day on various activities outside the school inside the school those could all go out at a certain time every day
028yes as a classroom teacher you know you still have access to send it out to your specific classes whenever you feel like you need to message them um but more so like a streamlined um here's you know the book fair information uh for MPS I don't even know if that has gone out yet and I think that's next week um 100th day is tomorrow I don't know if people even know that that's tomorrow right um so it's just kind of picking and choosing what goes out and when it goes out versus million times I like the model that the daily announcements they all get pushed out in the morning so maybe everything just goes on there and I think it's something to study and ask people like what work and and you'll never be perfect
029right like even if you streamline it and it all goes out at once you'll have people that don't read it read it all like but we will we will be addressing right critic I'm gonna just warn everybody in advance we we have daily messages for the March Madness about no daily I think the daily morning thing or something is do it Inspire students every morning I don't mind waking up to it that's everywhere parents districts everybody but I think I get a daily announcement one at 7 am every single day at my district and I can go there and I can click on this link for this happening I can see this flyer for for this event and it's just all streamlined in one place for my particular building and then then there's not a
030million that come out other than the press releases or you know phone lines are down um or important you know ones that there's a situation going on versus make sure it's all on those daily announcements and it's just do that's and also we need to Mike we need to look at we need to look at who has the access to do the all okay and those are the people that we need to like try to limit so we can do that yeah I don't I don't think it' be a hard to set up see okay so um can we talk about the capital project real quick though yeah since you I was waiting for I mean I just want to publicly thank again the community I think it was what 85% when we calculated it
031approval and we never take that for granted right we work very hard as a as a board as a district to plan our finances be responsible and then communicate I do think the communication was good but communicate to the public exactly what we're doing why we're doing it I thought the process this year the way we prioritized what was going to happen in the way we'll monitor this project was the best I've seen and the public responded that's the best vote we've had it's usually in the 70s but to see at at 85% kind of at an off time of year because we usually do them around the time of the budget vote or with the budget vote I just was really thankful uh and grateful to the public and want to make sure we
032say that absolutely yeah good spot and people are excited about a number everything in there but a number of things in there especially people who realized that that includes AC for FPS addressing some of the things proactively like the viral alarm system and everything before it and the roof because now it's leaking good just in time appreciate it so 312e is the new updated um a law so I had hop that the WTA and and myself would get together and start whittling away at it um because the deadline to uh input your new um agree agreements isk 1 so so unfortunately that's not going to happen for this year so the good news is there's still this we still have six more years so there's time um and so that is that will be a
033goal for next year a priority for next year what does APR stand um the annual performance the professional performance review and WTA negotiations so um we do have our Finn meeting scheduled I believe it's April 25th at 5 o' an hour before that board meeting where where we will be meeting with the perb negotiators um to learn more about it so we're hoping then that and we'll have um both sides there and then we'll be scheduling in May so that that's the timeline there so we will have an agreement a tentative agreement that will go to the board and the board will be involved in this process so you'll you'll hear more about that but it will will have a new contract in place according to the July 1 deadline okay the capital project really
034excited about that so we've been talking about our fund balance on a reserve plan and and Cynthia presented on that um last month and our smart schools Bond money so we're still waiting to receive s approvals but we'll keep you posted on that one so here's our draft student program calendar for the next school year wait this one excuse me so this is the draft the goal is to just have a a discussion tonight and then we'll put it on the agenda for the next meeting right so there so some of the highlights two weeks off again at Christmas or the the winter holiday there'll be two weeks off um we start after Labor Day so we'll have our first two superintendent conference days on September 2nd September 3rd uh the fourth will be the
035first day of school we've already planned our early release days we are not having parent teacher conferences at the secondary level so we tried it we tried for three years to get it up and running um it just it it's just difficult at the secondary level even though it was I felt a something very critical important so so it will only be Elementary and that will be June uh December 4th can I uh just make a quick change December 4th and 5th on a Friday Jen hold on okay we have to look at that that's Notre April if you look at the April bottom that should be April 2026 all right so thank you I just happened to like because I was looking at the spring break and I'm like wait a minute that's early
036but that's this year so yeah so we'll work on this no that's fine the Junior Senior High conferences was the lack of parent interest like what is the reason it's not working I think all of the above typically at the secondary level for that it's done as needed so like you know instead of waiting for a certain time so we have our success team meetings every week we may see an issue with a come in you know first week in October we'll bring the parents in and have a parent this or parent can also request it the kids got parlo are struggling this and you have teachers there so most of the time it's going both ways as need throughout the year so it's not that we don't do parent conferences you know people can
037request or whatever like that it's just not a set dat you know maybe time year it's not the most appropriate time there's not the concern there so we'll work them out throughout the year as needed on different it it was really something coming out of the pandemic we really wanted to connect more with our parents um but I'm confident with our new Administration that we'll have regular parents and meetings with parents and it won't it was a it was difficult I would just like to understand again not now but in the future when they're ready what the process would look like what the structure would look like what would trigger a conference you know what what apparent would expect they request one because I think it does go both ways I think parents should be
038able to request one but there also should be a reasonable amount of time to schedule that and that should all be communicated up front versus oh I need a conference like tomorrow okay well maybe maybe maybe it's like a week you know but and I think framing that out and then communicating that to parents probably be a great thing we do that yeah because we haven't had that historically like it's been available if you need like the school's always been great like if you reach out like I need to meet but there's never been a structure right and I think sometimes parents don't know right and I I I go to do I go to the teacher do I go to the principal like what works so so and then graduation is going to be
039held on June 27 so if you remember our recommendation is that we wait until the very end when all the grades are in and then we can calc calate all of our honors calculations um for graduation so so we will work to that um for the next school year random question I had earlier and I waited to ask it and I almost forgot so for grading do we have a system and again this happen to one of my students but when when there's an incomplete because the teacher's not in do we have a system that checks and balances that grade to make sure it's inputed properly at some point you know we end up with report cards where it's not it's not a complete report card it could be good or it could be bad
040missing a grade and maybe that child especially with our honors maybe that child would have made a certain level of honors they did or they didn't like how do we navigate that right so we have had a unfortunately a number of leaves the teachers have been out so we've been hit hard and it's been very you know it's been difficult for students there's no question about it so um I'm not exactly sure all of that level of detail but I think that Mr par can you know look into that yeah one of the glitches was you know the calculations back on the school tool and and how they did things that's kind of the most recent one we done typically what we'll go through we'll do grade change you know it is hand enter we
041will double check it when they go through I think in this last situation I just happen be that day right starting when go this Happ like that but you know like I would also we recalculate it and we will see so yeah I'm not going to take anything away from kids say somebody dropped out because of it but the kid should be honored who done it absolutely yeah well I don't I don't mean the notification p i mean like this actually so they it it occurred to me that we might not have a real check and balance in place because a few years ago we had a teacher again legitimate leave medical unforeseen issue was out long time and came back right before the end of a market period and did a whole bunch of
042grades and there was there were some inaccuracies it was all corrected but there were a handful of students who received their report cards maybe didn't make on a role because this was done incly now we've had a similar situation where it's not that but we have teachers out and we have a lot of incompletes and how are we going to make sure that when those grades are inputed we go back and say oh this student did make honorable or oh well this student you know their average went down because they didn't do all the work like how are we going to ensure the work together with our counselors you we are me separately just two counselors two administrators go through the systems part not a kids meeting it's our c meeting so it's actually G
043to talk about how are we doing our schedu how do we do progam this is what we need to do these are counselor should be going through spot checking all the report cards to see you if they're correct before we hand them out just like when we do scheduling I went through a rough timeline with them they physically need to look in view every single schedule sign off it before it goes and that's one of the days that we have to do this summer so I think putting in those systems and to establish those routines as we go through the next year those are things that we are talking about and building up those things and now hopefully we have some stability some consistency hopefully that will diminish some of things and I'm not sure
044have all of the incompletes been completed I I have no idea I don't think we would know that that's what I'm saying I don't think we have a process usually a certain number of days right I I don't know what's and and I just keep thinking about again not the kids like from my house where parents are going to make sure the work's done and they're fault but for some students that they may not even realize right that they didn't get a great completed or you know they they should have passed the class and they didn't you know they should have made honorable they didn't they didn't have answers the ones that had received it incomplete the question as the parent would be what is this I don't know all my work is done and
045they don't have and the student themselves do not have the answers and the the parents that actually you know are pushing to go that extra step come down hard and when they legitly don't have answers you know so in a way you know and again it's not something that can be fixed overnight but it's something that we have to address and move forward with you know you know I I I also I I don't know when to really bring this situation just now a situation but a question up I know we talked about it last time when comes down to scheduling and Grading and honors class and stuff but you're I I I don't know I don't want to make any make something not a priority but your music your gym that is a graded
046class now correct no so the so no my question is is we discussed it with they're not in the GPA is what me they're not part of the GPA so my question is is are we still pulling students out or I know we are um in like honors classes in any of of your mus L for music lessons because what I'm running into and it's actually affecting my my child and not to be personal but if it's affecting him it's affecting several others is he's in all honors and he wants to play an instrument but for once I I can honestly say the honors classes is pushing him he does not want to miss that I can't miss miss this because I can't keep up or it's not the point that he can't keep up
047he knows if he misses that class it's very detrimental to tomorrow in like a study right so I know we discussed that he's going to be looking down music glasses that's something I have to learn you know and it's definitely um you know he it's been mentioned several times that I'm staying in honors because of what we and he wants to play this instrument and he's trying to juggle it but then he doesn't want to get in trouble because he's skipping the instrument you know I just feel that we need to look at we talked about it last year and we kind of It kind of drifted off but now it's actually affecting I can actually see now you hear about it and you really can't picture it until now you actually see the student
048actually come home I don't know what to do I'm like you need to be honest with your teachers and you know and he goes I can't keep up if so I just really want to look at it before you know Now's the Time to actually get I what the policy ising looks like is it a rotating schedule is it done should be a rotating but I I don't know it is I don't have that but I know it's definitely got be make things built into the system too so if I'm in this class I'm able if I miss a lesson I'm able to make up X number by the year we building the makeup time for those sorts of things to where it could be the time you know to go through do stuff right
049I just let me do some resar absolutely absolutely but now's the time I think we should really and then we can set you we get what we can done this year but then we can actually look the best practice because I actually think that's a re you know we do see numbers you know from look at the MPS numbers for ban and they start to drift off I wonder if because we're now we're pushing our kids for and everything like that and these kids are like you know what all right I'll do this how do I dump something easy there goes and now Mr machete is now suffering because we're pushing our kids here I think we should have them push everything we all you know right because band is big and I don't want
050to lose the numbers from NPS just because now we're pushing our kids in right the honors Mr machete's so we're looking we're looking at the music schedule yeah so uh budget development process let's look at our calendar so February 25th so update on District's priorities I already did that tax cap approval so uh we did present the draft and uh Cynthia is going to just review that again and she does have some updated uh numbers to add to that and also Cynthia will be going over the bus the planned or proposed bus purchases um for 2526 right okay hold on so one of the things these are our goals we talked about this I think it was our last meeting and and uh the board was good with all of these but I the more
051I think about it I think right now we're in uncertain times with the economy right so I wanted to add in yellow you can see with efficiency I think it's really critical that you know we we have an efficient lens and and I I really am happy that we have our new administrators here because they're going to be you know spending time looking at the lens with how can we be more efficient with our schedule with our programming and and with all of that so so I wanted to add that if the board's okay with that okay okay Cynthia fa property tax calculation um I presented last week and on the second all right I'm not good at this sheet too yeah so this is the capital exclusions sheet and um we had originally last
052week um gone out with a number for 273,000 Aid yet and but they will be aided next year so we did a projection uh for the state um Aid and um these are more accurate so these are more accur getting so we updated the C Capital exclusions page and so now if you go down to um 25 yeah 20 25 26 Transportation Aid at the bottom keep going keep going yeah keep going a little bit farther yeah right there so you'll see 388,000 726 it is now estimated at 388 726 that is going to be our debt that will get aided on for our school bus purchases so the amount of Aid will then go up to $349,000 and you'll see that right underneath the 388 so it's at the 90% a and that would
053then lower if you go up a little higher Dr spring that would then lower the amount that we need from our um unappropriated fund balance to put in so two weeks ago we estimated that to be 195,000 it'll now drop to 92,000 so our tax cap calculation stays the same though we would still go out at 2% we would still have the same increase as I presented two weeks ago we just adjust the amount that we would have to put in on thep all for the balance and it's lower so that's a victory so thank you and it's good because it's consistent so I do have a projection all right which one next slide is it then tell me where to go go go back to your presentation all right the next slide I think
054it should be the next slide all right but you can see where we are it's always so 2% is yeah okay so it's actually the third slide this one is it this one so I that's probably hard for all of you to see a little bit yeah it was hard for me to get it on the slide um I was I can send it to you well it's in the presentation you can also all right yeah so um I projected for the 26 27 year and so for this year the projection the amount that we're going to have to go out at um for unappropriated fund balance is 92,000 so for 2627 the projected would be 89,000 and it would still keep us at our 2% we would stay absolutely the same and um so
055I have all the updated numbers there's a couple numbers I'll never be able to to get there are just projected the tax growth base that I get that from the state and stuff so uh but those are pretty consistent year toe too um so very confident that this would be this would keep us on a very even level yeah for the years to come so for next year 2% is what I believe we should be able to do at 89,000 so for two years in a row for this year and then I mean for 25 26 26 27 and that's even with we'll have to use look again that's the tax cap cap you know the levy limit that we'll be going out at um and obviously we'll have to balance the budget with with
056fund with fund balance right so just question on this it's actually not this and we may not have an answer have have we had you know we passed the capital project have we had any communication thoughts around potential hurdles down the road with increased materials cost that's just something to keep put a pin in and keep an eye on exactly for thear fing perspective you're saying like tariffs and stuff right yeah yeah I mean like you if if anything within anything of significance in the building material industry goes up potentially by 15 20 25% you could have significant change talking Vehicles right and our vehicle purchases this is what we're that's where you said that list that Pro right prioritize on our highest needs right so I would want to that that's something we wouldn't
057normally dedicate any Bandits for time to but that could be something we should think about with like the gal project committee Y and we're meeting next week and and start discussing like what that could look like for us and would there be any recourse through the state like this could be really forward but we should think that way or will we have to go back to the list and say well we put it all in order we still feel this is the order here's what's at the bottom if if we see a 20% increase this portion would not be funded any longer I think we should do that exercise in the near future just to prepare drop off going to be what are the things you're going and are we comfortable with that and again
058push back up through bosis into the state or whatever on these issues and say hey like nisba whoever's appropriate you know is the state looking at this purchases does you happen to look into the discrepancy in the numbers that between like what I had seen on N said versus what you had on from Questar no no so I think that there was just because you weren't adding them together they were the correct numbers and I checked them again today before we met they were the the same exact numbers that I had the total schol numers were being added together on mine yes on those two but the total school aid was different the total school aid so go ahead now so this is I got this off SED today matched it to my numbers that
059I had presented last week and they were exactly the same so I'm not so so you tell so go ahead and tell me so what is your school the total school aid proposed budget so without upk okay because some places add in upk okay so then that's the difference the answer I was looking for okay so when we project out our state aid we don't show you upk because upk is based on how many students we have enrolled okay so right now they'll say 480,000 it's actually like okay for this year 45,000 well last year we only got 280 because we had 36 children enrolled so that's based on enrollment so we don't never yeah so I guess that's what I was asking last time so thank you clarifying why that La the overall Aid
060was different right so 16 million um 1,780 okay so we match and then you subtract the upk which is 405 but we're not gonna get all that money right right so that's why you subtract it um and then it's 15596 also noted upk goes into our federal funds it is not included in our general so that's why it's exact excluded from the what about the public high cost access Aid and like the looking into um the decrease in that so that's this is all remember this is just executive budget right but that's based on like the numbers that we always low ball access cost on your executive budget and then they raise it when it comes to your legislative budget okay so it's based on um where they are with their special ed counts in
061the state and of I will look into and I spoke to Katie about this giving me numbers on how many kids are is there a difference from last year to this year are they that much lower or is it just because the state is is low volum how much they're going to give to us next because it's based on like the number that we submit correct correct yeah yes how many students yeah so I was just yeah curious about the difference between that year to last year um to see because or knowing that our special ed numbers are increasing it's just I wanted to make sense of it in my brain right so and if our special ed numbers are increasing are we doing inhouse right versus out of District because that's the out then
062we get aided through both right and that's separate right yeah yeah thank you you're welcome and I wrote it down I will have an answer you the next one all right so I'm calling this proposed vehicle purchases because I would like to add in a maintenance vehicle for us so we have a 2008 Chevy pickup that has so rusted out now it's dangerous to drive their carbon monoxide issues yes yes yes it has a sand machine on the back of it and it may go through the back of it if we use it any longer than this year so we will not get aided on that but we would like to put that in for financing so we would roll it into our band that we purchase the buses with so that's why we have
063to present it with our buses because it has to be voted on Mak s um it would work because then we have financing for five years on it and it gives us time when we're paying our local share to pay off the it wouldn't be a purchase would have to pay out of pocket all at once still get State BS it be cheap right right um we don't have is there a regular um replacement regular replacement of these vehicles yes so Ethan and I created a maintenance equipment replacement um schedule together and um that's when because I had discussed with him for the pickups yep so I'm having Ethan help me in purchasing because knows a lot about vehicles obiously and um Travis also oh yeah so they were the ones who came up with
064what we should go out for this time he thinks that we need to have a um pickup truck with a dump body so that we don't have to rent a dump trailer when we need to dump things so you would have to dump on the back of the yeah the pickup yep and then it would have a plow on it so so like a F550 550 du kind of a thing so it be almost like a mini dump truck in a way corre I got you okay s to what the village has absolutely that's you can with that absolutely like that no and both of our other vehicles one of them is um probably I would say in the next couple of years gonna go out of commission so I would like some leeway if
065we have a new one we don't then necessarily have to to buy another one right away if you know it gives us that that time to decide start the process y start the start I'm assuming they don't get a whole lot of miles on them that's how we they don't because you know right just other than like this year with between apologized I don't know why turning everything off and it's I hate I hate your watch my watch I apologize time to time to stop and I tried I kept turning it off nothing's working I hate technology so then you want to go over the total so okay so purchases we're going to purchase two large buses this year or next year 65 passenger um we are replacing buses that were purchased in 2020 this
066will be the last year 2425 that we are aided on them and we are also going to purchase a small bus Which is the 12 and 18 depending on if it's wheelchair if you have wheelchair brings it down to 12 passengers um and you can see the jump in the cost so it was 110,000 in 2020 for the large bus and now it's 177,000 and then for the small bus it was 71,000 and now it's 118,000 so the jump and the cost of what these Buss are costing us um this is back on just for a note back onto our regular replacement schedule last year we added an extra bus but this year we're not we're just replacing the ones that are due to be placed so and I did announce at our last meeting
067that Russ Stewart is retiring from serving on the ohm Bose's Board of uh Bose's board um so we will need to nominate a current or former board member and the annual dinner is April 2nd at 5:00 pm and so I will introduce the Waterville candidate and um you'll meet everybody at that time and we're hoping that we have someone who's interested I I think I am oh great all right so so put that on your calendar April 2nd at 500m I thought Pete was gonna do have a resol no I I do think I am I just to nominate him I think so we can do that at the next meeting Russ and I talked once and then want to meet with him and get a better sense of exact commitment for sure well thank
068you I mean I think it's exciting I think you know Waterville has had a really strong voice in our bosis for many years and and I think it would be really great to have you continue that Legacy so there their meetings are earlier oh so right so is anyone else interested in going so Steve we're rsvping for Steve and we'll go together and is anyone else interested to attend the meet the din meeting so Steve you're it thank you all right Andre you want to talk a little bit more about stain um you know this has been initiative you know for the district and stuff with con absenteeism is not a Waterville issue it's in everywhere you go no matter whether you're Suburban District wealthy District poor District Urban District chronic absenteeism is something that
069we really take a look at um since especially from post pandemic you know and I think one of the big things that you see post pandemic is what families and households view of education and you know have to be there all the time plus kidss re-entering re getting into the mode of Education that some thatc and I know um in my interview packet I did do something presentation St I think Dr shared ask we do that part of my presentation you look at what things can we do what is our chronic entities how do we look at things one of the big things that I look at with it is trying to get our scores back from 2018 2019 you know I look at that whether we're looking at academics you know some our districts
070are we back those passing rates that we were pre pandemic and we see ourselves moving Direction you know one of the nice things is and I think it was kind of surprising some of the committee for the first time seeing it Although our private is high if you compare us to other parts of the district other school districts in our ranking we're actually doing better than other districts in it you know which I think is is a big positive I think people were surprised if you look pre pandemic we when you look at our when Essa like ranks ranks you and stuff like that we were level two and really we're level three so there are some positive things doing it but we always know that we can do better and you know and part
071of this um our state of the game is um our initiative and our theme um and we worked with the teacher leaders have been great with this trying to go through coming up with ideas coming up with things how can we go through into it um so we've had planning meeting I've been here two days I've been on a major planning meeting and I well out today so um our Becky is done a phenomenal job pulling the data and you know I think it's really interesting is been great because what we're going to do is actually use the data I'm sharing the data with students actually you'll see in a later slide at my uh student assemblies this week so they're going to see their grade level data they're going to see what it looks
072like a nobody ever really talks about that stuff you know um so as part of this we have initiative each uh Home Room will be a team be led by a coach we are doing uh door decorating we're taking team pictures we are going to kind of also build this as we go because we know like what happens March 15th and everybody's over we need to come up with something else to do it you know incentives and stuff are great and that's what our initial thing is trying to go through and do things but probably the most important thing is we have to have intrinsic value kids see value to come to school and try to build that up we can give out as many ice cream cones as we want but it's got to
073come at some point kids and families knowing the importance of doing it and as part of this roll out is going to do a lot of uh parent and family awareness um Dr spring has put together uh did you know you know like what is the impact you know we know one of the the grade levels have the worst attendance is kindergarten but if you think about how much school you miss between kindergarden in the second grade you are so far behind on those standard Basics that it takes too long to catch up you know we know in high school ninth grade is the most important year we don't connect kids and kids go connect to school people in the school programs in the schools they're not going to make it to 12th grade the
074more a kid comes to nth grade is connected with things and successful in nth grade they're going to make it out to the 12th grade Closs stage and like that you know so that's part of this whole process is going to be having the education thing so today we share the data with our teachers so they have their their data we look at the the grade levels we've ranked out the grade levels and we're basically looking for growth you know there's going to be two Awards you know who is maintaining high level of attendance and has the best attendance and who do we see grow in coming things you know one of the things with tricky with tenants sometimes you get feedback on my kid is sick they're not going to school that there is
075normal sickness and there's normal things but you know trying to get those other times I don't really feel like going to school today you know and knowing what they importance are we're lucky to the foundation we're donating you know things for prizes and so we' come up with our some of our initial ideas to do it we're going to have a final trophy at the end of the year that students are going to build and you'll be the most gross in the you know MVP and it'll be know for 2025 you know class of 28 maybe you know and then we may see four years in a row class 28 Rox in you know we can go through and see those different things just trying to you know build awareness get excited about things um
076and looking at that stuff um and also doing it from a scientific background like this is what your data is this is what our class is and trying to do in a positive like uh we also know that March is the worst attendance month for most and it also sets a tone for the rest of the year um and that's what we we need get our kids to school that March is the worst tendance month usually it's the dark month it's the long month no breaks the third Maring Peri take home vacations in March interes yeah it's typically one of those yeah tends to be our Lois yeah um so some other updates from the building so I started officially with kids yesterday been here 48 Hours U Mr bodell is the happiest man in
077his current position because he's coming here to he's really excited he and I talk every night to go through how our day went and what's going on so he starts March 10th but I do want to thank Dr Grim um for his service to the district you know stpp as an interim he's been phenomenal with me in the transition and really working know to help still around he's still around yes he's still around yes um so he's he's with he and I are here together until the assistant right and then we talked about some things with him following up afterwards so he and I are working together on everything going through one of the nice things is we'll get to as we talked about the me transitioning in is we've talked about like he's still
078doing some of the DayDay operations I try to transition so part of my transition is the third build there's like I have individual team leader meetings so each of the department chairs sitting down with the team leaders they going through what are their priorities what are their needs what things we need to do what retirements are on the end how's your budget going what you know things you doing so again as long as he's here to be allowed to do that stuff he of me a twoe crash course to get all the transition things that I need to get done that I wouldn't be able to get done so I'm very fortunate to have him here and being very very supportive of doing of doing that um Thursday and Friday we will be doing grade
079level assembly some are combined some are separate so it's almost similar to like a beginning of school year thing but introduce myself um I was I didn't want to wait three weeks for Kirk to be here so he's aware of it you know some knows that I'm doing it and kind of a reset of expectations you know what are expectations we're going to review cell phones I'm going to kick off the attendence to show the tendences what is your expectation on getting class on time what is your expectation to go do those things what is cafeteria Behavior going look like you know and and I'm not a part-timer so you know so there things that we are going to be going through and some of it they probably going to be push back you they're
080going to push and see how far they're going to go and good you know and I can pap qualitine to so like those are but I think we need to have but but it is not fair I can't it's not fair students not to know what the expectations are ahead of time you know and then once we set the expectations you know you know there we you know we are you know one of the things you you'll hear me say is you know if you're you get in trouble for your cell phone you're not a victim you know what the consequences are you know these things you don't play the victim but there are responsibility these are responsibilities these are expectations and these are con natural consequences that that's the only way that you can
081adjust and become successful ad I mean that's ultimately what our goal is action so we're going to be doing that so we have those coming up um other things we've done eighth graders just went to potato Hill Farm uh yesterday with snowshoeing and cross country skiing uh we talked about the March Madness so fact he's on board we have two athletes tonight completing a state qualifiers for track indoor traffic field um boys our talked about that is Thursday night our musical the semiformal that got snowed out in February will be March 7th um and then we talked about hosting All County yeah um one of the things we also want to include in here tonight is just kind of and as we do a presentation I'll try to highlight some of the different academic things
082from the different areas so you kind of like see what goes on you know during the day and you know what are our kids working on and what are some of the projects so here seventh grade ELA class is a research project on Native American tribe Tri so they looked at different tribes around um the U continent they had to narrow it down one of the things when we look at nextg standards is um students are going to have to be able to do conduct research be able to read primary sources you know pick out what our quality sources are and then um you know come up with question what our research it how do we solve things and then I'll reproduce something C to the next one so with this one you know they
083had to end up finally picking on One Tribe they wanted to look for they had to construct something looking at housing uh they had to put on displays these displays are in our library um so one of the things you know these are seventh graders these are the ones are going to be going through our portrait and graduate and as those graduation standards change and what we're looking for the skills that are going to be on the new transfer and stuff one of the big ones is the fact of Communicator they're going to have to be able to present they're going to have to be able to demonstrate something they're going to have to be able to construct something so these are starting to build those skills in seventh grade that we will end up
084spiraling so as we look at curriculum from 712 you know here in this building in each department how are you spiraling these skills that we need throughout because eventually down the road we're going have to document how each kid has done that and that's what's going to be the graduation transcript you know and we're going to see that in 2029 you know so that's definitely something that it's on thing but again so these are just and you know making learning authentic I mean I think that's altim the goal you know one one of the best ways to get kids in school is kids engage if there's something looking for to do so it's very important as we look at AI look at different things like that like you need to find things that kids are
085engaged to that they're buying into so they want to be there do that we want again intrinsic incentive for them to come to school and to participate more know the person doing the work doing the thinking is the one who's doing the learning you know we kind of have to take that old model of the teacher giving out that information you know the person doing the work is the one who's doing it and you know I I go back Dr and I go back a long time you Harry Wong you know one of the big things he writ a birthday school you know he talks about you know you walk you see at the end of the day kids are bouncing off the wall running out of the building all excited the teachers are all
086dragging well who did all the work all day long you know it's the teacher you know we want to like switch that Paradigm and you know classrooms should aren't you know museums they should be construction sites you know and doing that St M with these projects all and that's the model that we're going to hopefully transition to over the next few years so um one so you each have a copy of our course selection or program studies book yeah so program stud so that's the course offerings that students are currently working you know through uh we're working right now I believe with grade eight and grade 11 counselors are meet with the kids doing and parents uh and having the parents come in that as many parents as they can to get in kind talk
087about that process and what it looks like um we talked briefly with the counselors yesterday and then when we have our first meeting on Thursday really setting our timeline for building the master schedule I love Master schedu my favorite thing we do most people don't like any whatever I love the master schule most people don't like it they want no part of it give me master schedule and budgets my two favorite things um so you know it's so building that and putting on that timeline so I don't want to be crunch I'm neurotic about schedule you know trying to balance class sizes meeting student needs building those sorts of things so the counselors will be on a fixed schedule you know these are when I need my numbers these are what we're going to do
088these and that sort of stuff so again it's just one system that we're trying to update and put things in place and hopefully once it gets in there that then something will be able to stay What I'm Looking For Trying sounds great yeah exciting it's quite the plan for a couple days 48 hours wow need to do we're very excited we we knew you brought a lot of experience and we're looking forward to I'm very excited Implement everything and getting back into things first day is always y but once we get going and things like that it's gonna go so appreciate the support I appreciate your willingness to take me out to do things so I am very grateful that I just really for team approach to what we need to do I think it's
089be helpful perfect y so I'd like to ask our students if you had any any words you would like to say or anything I didn't want to put you on the spot but if there's no if there's anything you know about you know new principal or anything not to put you on the spot we are um we were just wondering if there's like any update on we mentioned safety during lockdown DRS youan of see through the windows in the courtyard we just wondering if like there's been any actions taken to address that sh that so uh you're talking about when during a lockdown you pull down the shade that covers the window on the door is that what you're talking about no like when you're in a room that has a window in the courtyard
090you can oh in the courtyard yeah okay so those are that that's a big purchase and we we think it's a great idea and we want to work it in so we're not sure if we're going to be able to do that as a capital outlay project or a capital project or just out of our budget so I will report back to you on it we do we I spoke to our head of Maintenance about it and he's getting that estimates of how many rooms and how much it will cost for me so that we can then and I'll bring it to the board and uh well I just going to suggest can we just make sure it's on the agenda for the capital project sure that's the mechanism make sure it's discussed what would
091be the the purchase Shades yes because in a lockdown situation you're not supposed to pull down the shades so what would be the protocol for that so I think the girls no I yeah I remember that but so then would the teacher be responsible for pulling down the shades even though they're not supposed to well I think the fear was the visual if there is an active shooter event they could see maybe there's other schools that have encountered this before or would tree like bushes or something we didn't have our safety committee meeting but it is something we can talk about in safety so what I would actually direct us right to is the Safety Committee also I would also go to our liaison for onited County Sheriff's Office what do they recommend um because
092I know from my school BBS also has a courtyard I never really thought of it you brought up a perfect point but what does law enforcement recommend I was not aware of that to me i' pulled on the Shad so you can't see who's in there but there's obviously a safety concern and a reason why there's already policies and procedures up why we stay in play you know or stay and leave everything as is so I really think we should get a hold of our Professionals in this situation versus us just well you know putting out ideas and why is a policy a policy there's got somebody that already reasons why Behind these bad guys and why by bad individuals make these decisions so that's but no that's a good point you know thank you
093for bringing it up and we'll you know to remind us we'll look into so this cost absolutely large cost lot of square footage yes it's got to be 80t 80 you're looking you're looking almost 400 ft of material which irrelevant to if that's what we need that's what we need right right so we'll find out and then we'll report back and then uh and then we'll go from there if if it is a purchase that we can do we'll let you know anything else okay there there was something from Eddie who's not here yep I looked at his so I think we should table that till okay the next do you know if he will be at the next board meeting he should be he should be in the they have Musical musical he said
094he wanted to pushed off to the next perfect okay we just did want to ignore it so yeah all right okay we're good I got find I'm looking for the agenda there it is that brings us to board discussion we have any additional topics for administration two n nurse openings have we moved in any direction for those two openings so we um are posting on Olas uh and we have number of applicants so we'll be reviewing them and and setting up our committee and so now we have our you know our team in place here uh so we'll be moving forward with us with um I know you had previously sent something out about um LPN versus RN with two openings are we gearing that towards one in one or so again we have to
095you know go through the the applications and go through the interviews and and assess the candidates um and also so tomorrow I do have mvhs coming and we're going to be inter taking like an inventory of what's what is here in both of the school based Health Centers and when that is going to actually open so I think that is also an important part of this discussion of whether we go LPN for one of the the nurses offices so so that's another reason why I'm holding off just to see what happens with the school dist So within LPN being hired do they have to work under the RN's license no no the LPN so an LPN can't legally assess okay so if there were a situation let's say let's say we had a fight and
096there was an injury then we would have to have uh the school-based health center it could be the nurse practitioner from there or we could have the RN from the other building um come here so it is legal and according to our w ta contract it states nurse so we could have um either an LPN or an RN according to to that as well are we going to try to hire before Tessa leaves so that there's some hopeful training or so um right now we're moving forward with it and uh we will have training um so thank you y I had a question uh Mr parody sort of addressed it and it's open-ended I would be curious I think the board would be interested to understand once you set expectations on the cell phone policy
097if you could give us a report even via email would be fine on where we actually are right now with compliance I've heard different things I would like to just get your assessment of how are we doing and then where do we need right how do we get where we want to be because I know we're not there so okay so I I have not been here in the last few uh couple meetings but I did hear you make you mention uh Mohan Valley Health Services are going to be coming in to evaluate for they look into Poss I know there was possibility of Partners already so so they applied for to the New York State Department of Health to open a school based Health Center here okay so the estimated date is April oh
098wow right so they're coming to see the inventory they want to know what they need to purchase so that they can outfit both of the school-based health centers and will this be something that we have to also negotiate with our so we'll have a we're gonna have a contract no no we we're going to have a contract obviously we'll we'll work with our attorney our school attorney on that that's board approved so we're not there yet yep um and the other thing is we did get a refund from upstate Family Health I told you it was a $660,000 refund I know and so that is money those are monies that will go towards supporting the partnership with mvhs W are they talking about charging us the same way they haven't said anything we haven't gotten
099that gotten that far but obviously these were monies that were pandemic relief monies that were designated for school based heal Center we have the check we deposited it but it still is earmarked for that purpose so that's that's that's what we will do especially with to help offset cost and also we don't know what's happening with Medicaid Medicaid is is a huge part of making the numbers work right now we don't know I think our numbers would I think the Medicaid with current Administration I think we're going to be okay in that situation from what I see on my medical experience that with the insurances and the re refunds but it's just what happens on the federal no that's what I'm saying on the current Administration um but and I'm I'm a huge advocate for
100the school of Da Health Center especially with the current flu and everything that's going on and where we personally cannot get into your own family doctor right and just to get a simple medication right you know I it's I'm a huge advocate for it and whatever I can do to I'm a huge advocate for it water gos well have the curve on any other districts do that especially buildings love hear well again though as long as we I want to make I've been pretty clear about this I don't want to I don't want to see a situation where they come back and we spend $600,000 on this and we don't anticipate that correct oh no no no no no okay we don't anticipate them coming to us and say it'll be oh no and we're
101not going to do that that's not going to even a lot of money no we've spent our money yeah we're done we're done with that we have 60,000 left that's the money that you know right but they need to sustain this year after year absolutely yeah so we need to make the numbers work okay any other board discussion or at our first public comment then I have a question yeah cynth I didn't get the number how much does it cost for a large school bus this year I believe it was 177,000 77,000 I can go back to I just get back there from 89 to 177 17742 thank you job Kate that much more you are faster than me is that is that vote a proposition on the budget correct separate would have to be
